relocating gcc 3.2.1: inconsistent search path for header files?

Hi folks,

I have installed gcc 3.2.1 in a private directory of a pseudo user.
When I compile a program using 'g++ -v', then g++ lists the following
directories searched for header files:


#include <...> search starts here:
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include/c++/3.2.1
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include/c++/3.2.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include/c++/3.2.1/backward
  /usr/local/include
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/include
  /usr/include
End of search list.



After relocating the gcc-3.2.1 directory to my own $HOME, 'g++ -v'
reports:

#include <...> search starts here:
  /u/dunkel/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include/c++/3.2.1
  /u/dunkel/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include/c++/3.2.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu
  /u/dunkel/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include/c++/3.2.1/backward
  /u/dunkel/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/include
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include/c++/3.2.1
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include/c++/3.2.1/i686-pc-linux-gnu
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include/c++/3.2.1/backward
  /usr/local/include
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/include
  /u/ccmaster/Linux/stow/gcc-3.2.1/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/include
  /usr/include
End of search list.



As you can see, the directory /somepath/gcc-3.2.1/lib/gcc-lib/\
i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/include has got a higher priority than
/usr/local/include now. This is surely inconsistent. But shouldn't
/usr/local/include get a much lower priority in the first case?
